TIMES READERS SUGGEST MEANS OF ELIMINATING GROWING TRAFFIC EVILS

Pedestrians Are Blamed, Drive rs Get Thelrs, Speed Governors Suggested and Ball and Chairf Is Favored for Punishment. ■WTiat must be done to make thè streets of Indianapolis safer for thè pedestriau and eareful autoistst The traine editor of thè Times asked readers for suggestions. Many responses have been received from those who walk and those who operate cara. Sixty-one have been killed in motor vehiele accidente in Marion County thid year. Officiai investigation assigned various causes. But what is needed is a remedy for this waste of liuman lise. Perliaps you have an idea tliat will lielp solve thè problem. Mere is what several Times readers say, voicing thè opinion of many others.

MOVE WITH TRAFFIC Have thè people move witli thè trafile; arrest every person who crosses thè Street when thè signal is turned against thè trafile, and you will stop all thè acci dents in thè business part of town, where thè trafile offieer gives thè signal. Nothing else will stop it. Sneh a law should be pnt into effect at once. The way to stop accidente where no offlcer ls stationed is to wam thè people to stay on thè sidewalk until they see their Street car is near. If caught waitlng on thè Street, fine offendere. When any one is caught drivlng an automobile more than twenty mlles an hour gire him 100 days on thè penai farm. That wIU stop speeding. Q. W. PEDESTRIANS BLAMED Regarding thè remedy for redneing thè number of trafile accidente, wish to say that from my own personal observation I find that it ls more thè fault of thè pedestrians than thè motorista. It seems to me that thè publio should be educated how to cross a Street. There is not one person out of ten that knows how and while I am not in sympathy with speeders, stili it is not always thè motorista fault if an aeeldent occure. Whenever an aeeldent happens thè law should Investigate and lf thè pedèstrian is sound gullty of "jay-walking” I think he should be flned. Until thè publlc leams a machine cannot stop as quickly as pedestrians con there will be many accidente. A. P. DONELSON. AGE LIMIT ON DRIVERS No man or woman under thè age of 18 years and who does not have good ears and eyes has thè moral right to drive a car. Every one drivlng a car more than ten miles an hour in thè city limita should have tento twenty-one years in tbe State penitentiary and not a payoff like most get. I have been driving a car eigl}t years and had only one accident. which was not my fault. The other fellow was speeding Another thing that isn't right is for a machine to pass a standing Street car outside of thè police marks on thè Street. They should be made to stop at least twenty feet behind thè car. CHARLES L. SUTTON. SPEED GOVERNORS I would suggest that all automobile manufacturers instali a speed governor in their motors, such a device to permit a maximum speed of whatever is permitted on country roads, and then, with thè shifting of a lever for thè purpose, thè governor could be adjusted to a speed limit within thè city. Such a device would be valuable to thè driver who has no speed indicator, and would help to control thè ‘Mon’t care” class of reckless drivers. A. H. COLLINS, 221 S. Warman Ave. SAFETY OF CAR RIDERS I, with thousands of others, suggest remediai legislation, to make it a law and then enforce it ; namely, that automobiles and truci* be made to stop long enough to allow passengers getting off Street cars to cross thè tracks safely and not be made to scramble hurriedly to thè nearest curbstone. I witnessed this evil: A woman boarding a Street car on E. Tenth St. barely escaped a large truck which circled around thè car and started on bofore thè woman got on. Daily I see autos start just as thè cars start. Passengers’ lives seem of small consequence. PATRON OF E. TENTH ST. CAR LINE. FAVORS BALL AND CHAIN The grip of thè automobile menace can be relaxed at least 50 per cent if thè ball, chain and hoe would be put into practice. Any man convicted of speeding should get ten days and upward with a ball and ebain clamped to his leg and with a hoe in his hand he should be made to work on our unimproved streets, and given a fine large enough to pay thè expeuse of guarding and Jeeding him.

CHURCHMENEDO NATIONAL ET Federai Council of Church of Christ Indorses League. Members of thè executive committee of thè Federai Council of Churches of Christ in America, who have been bere thè past three days attendi ng their annual meeting, today were leaving for their homes and posts of duty in this country and in Europe.

LLOYD GEORGE CALLS FOCH ‘RHINE BLOC’ SPOKESMAN (Continued From Page 1) countrymen. Th&t, I admit, is not very long. Gratltude is like manna—it must bs gathered and enjoyed qulckly, for ita freshness qulckly disappears. But in ths early months of 1919, Marshal Foch was stili sltting at thè banquet table of popular favor. His word on all questiona affecting thè security and ùestlny of Franca was heard with a deferer.ee which no other man in Franca could succeed in securing. He had aiso a quality which ls not ueually an attribute ot ge^eralshlp — for he was a lupid, forceful and picturesque speaker. "We Must Stay There” On Aprii 19, 1919, there appeared in thè London Times an interviow with Marshal Foch. I take these salient paaeages: “ ‘And now, having reached thè Khine, we must stay there,’ went on thè marshal, very empitatirally. ‘lmpresa that upon your fellow countrymen. It’s our only safety; their only safety. We must doublé lock tlie door. "Democraclei like ours which are nover aggressive must have strong naturai frontiere. Remembet that these seventy mlllions or people WIU aiwaya be a menace to us. Do not trust appearances of thè moment. Their naturai characteristlcs havo not changed in four years. Fifty ysars herce they will be what they are today.' • From thè table at thè other end of thè room Marshal Foch brought a great map, slx or elght feet squars, on which thè naturai features of this part of western Europe were marked. The Rhine was a thick line of blue. To thè west of thè river thè marshal had drawn in pendi a concave are ropresenting thè new frontler that Franca will receive under thè peace treaty. It was clearly an arhitrary politicai boundary conforming to no naturai feature of thè land. “No Naturai Obstacle” “ ‘Look at that,’ salci Marshal Foch. ‘There’s no naturai obstacle along that frontler. Is lt there that we can hold thè Germans if they attack us again? No. Here, here, bere.' And he tapped thè blue Rhine with his pendi/ ‘Here we must be ready to face our enemies. This is thè barrler which will take some Crossing. If thè Germans try to force a passage over thè Rhine —Ho! Ho! but here— touchlng thè black pencilled line running northwest from Lorraine past Saar \ ailey to thè Belgian frontler—‘here there is nothing.’

“ ‘No, if you are wise you insist on having your locks and wall, and we must have our armies on thè Rhine. Some people object that lt will take many troops to hold thè Rhine. Not so many as it would take to hold thè politicai frontier. For thè Rhine can be crossed only at certaln places, whereas thè new politicai frontler ot Franse can be broken anywhere and would have to be held In force along its entlre length.’ “ ‘Nature has only made one barrier—thè Rhine. Tliis carrier must be forced on Germany. Henceforward thè Rhine will be thè western frontier of thè Germanie peoples.’ ” He repeated this demand in a subeequent memorandum. Many of us recali his dramatlo irruption into thè placld arena of thè Peace Conferente in May, 1919, stili brandlshing ths urne theme. Is Not Statesman It may be said that Marshal Foch is not, and does not pretend to be, a statesman. He is only a great soldier. Nevertheless. his politicai influente was so great that even in 1920 he overthrew thè most powerful statesman in France within a mcnth aster his triumphant return at thè polis with a huge supportlng majority in thè French Parliament. It was Marshal Foch who. by his antagonlsm, was résponsible for M. Clemenceau’s defeat at thè Presldential election of 1920. But for Marshal Foch’s interventlon M. Clsmencsau would have

Many Things That Help to Make Christmas Happy Appear in Livmg Form to Delight Parents of Coburn School Children

\/''■ '**''' I

MR. TURKEY GOBBLER (RILEY AIKMAN) Santa Claus, Old Father T.me, all thè fruita and vegotablea ot thè garden, gnomes and falriea visited thè Henry P. Coburn School, No. 68, Maple Road and Ruckle St., at thè Christmas party given by thè school children in celebratici of thè Corning holiday sensori yesterday afternoon. The program was in charge of Mrs. Frank Iteissner, 8P25 N. Delaware St , presldent of thè Parcnt Teacher Club, before which lt

oeen today presldent of thè French re pub! le. The wrath of Marshal Foch and his formldable followlng was exclted all th* more against M. Clemencean tecause thè lattei- had, under pressure from thè alile, gone back on thè agreed French policy about thè Rhine. I can if necessary quote endles* leading articles in French journals and wrltinga and speeches of French polltlclans. Men of such dlvergent temperaments and accomplishments as M. Franklin Bouillan and M Tardleu gave countenance to thè clalm that Germany should be amputated at thè Rhine. Poinraro’s Declaration Later on. at a reception of Marshal Foch when he was elected a metnber of thè French Academy, M. Poincaré, tuming atone moment in his discourse to thè Marshal, eaid In reterence to thè veteran generai' weilnown attltude on thè peace treaty: “Ah, Monsieur le Marechal, if only your advice had been lUtened to.” Has he also gone back on opinion so htstrlonlcally expressed? Let us hope for thè best. I know lt will be said that although thè boundarles of Germany were to end at thè Rhine, thè province on thè left bank was not to be annexed, butto be constltuted into an "lndependent republic.” What manner of lndependence, and what kind of republic? All German officers were to be expelled. It was to be detached by special provision from tho economie llfe of Germany, tipon which lt ls a’.most entirely dependent for tts existence. It was not to be allowed to associato with thè fatherland. The Rhine, which divided new territory from Germany, was to be occupied in thè inain by French troops. Territorio of an independent republic were to be occupied by foreign so'diers. I s young mrn were lo be conscripted and trained with a view to absorbing thetn into thè French and Belgian arinies, to tight against their own countryinen on thè ollier side of tlie Rhine. The whole conditions of lise of this free and lndependent republic were to be dlctated by an “accord” be tween France, Luxemburg and Belglum, and. in thè words of Marshal Foch, “Britafn would be ultlmately brought in.” But I am to!d these proposals did not rnean annexation. Then what else did they mean? You do not swalìow Ihe oyster. You only flret givo it an lndependent existence by defaching it from II liard surroundings. You then surround it on ail sldes and absorb it into your own System to equip you with ndded strength to prey on other oysters! What Independence! And what a republic! It would havè been, and was Intended to be, a sham republic. Had thè pian been adopted it would have been a blunder and a orime, for which not France alone, but thè world would have paid thè penalty later on. In thè face of these quotatlons and of these undoubted faets can any one say that I calumniated France when I said there was a powerful party in that country which claimed that 4he Rhine should be treated as a naturai barrier of Germany, and that thè peace treaty should be based upon that assumption? Let it be observed that I never stated that this claim had thè sup port of .French democracy. The faci that thè treaty, which did not realize that objective, secured ratification by an overwhelming majority in thè French parliament, and subsequently by an emphatic verdict in thè coun try, demonstratés clearly that thè French people as a whole shrank

In conclusion I should like to add that to denouncs me aa an enemy of France because I disagree with thè International policy of its present rulen Is a petulant absurdlty. During th® whole ot my publlc career I have been a conslatent advocate ot cooperatlon between thè Frenoh and Britlsh democracies.

During thè war I twice rlsked my premiershlp In an effort to place thè Britlsh army under thè supreme command of a French generai To preservo French friendship I have repeatedly given way to French demand and thus often have antago nized opinion in this country. But I cannot go to thè extent of approving a policy which is endangerlng tho peace of thè world, evento please otio sectlon of a people for whose country I have always entertained most genuine admiratlon.

GOVERNOR ALLEN BITTERLYSCDRES KLAIANDCHIEFS Kansas Executive Brands Leaders of Body as Profiteers on Prejudice. Bh United Press WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va., Dee. 16. —In a speech that combined withering denunclation ànd Ironie rldicule, Governor Henry J. Alien of Kansas told thè Governors' conference here today that thè leaders of • thè Ku-IClux Klan ■,'* 'W& ar ® "proflteors” & - ' ''faj who have been r* t * “capltalizlngr” rofcial and rellglous Pprejudlces for their * His address conBtituted one ot thè most severe at tacks ver made on thè Klan by a pubThe Kansas Governor asserted that thè organization ALLEN cannot continue to exdst "upon thè ruins of law and order, which it destroys while pretending to uphold.” Alien asserted that thè Klan’s clalm to 100 per cent Americanlsm was bellod by its use of masks and lts “terror-in-spiring midnight meetings” and that Us activlties give thè criminal element In a community thè opportunity for depredations.” Dangerom to Protestants. “This organlzatlon, said thè Governor, who is seeking to drive tho organization out of his States, “is as dangerous to thè Protestants as lt is to thè Catholics, thè Jews or thè negro, because lt exists only when thè government has been broken down and dastroyed. ! “One of thè declarations of this masked organization is ‘we stand for Christlanlty, for thè protectlon of womanhood and for white supremacy.’ In thè name of God why do they have to be masked to stand for that? When has womanhood in any State needed to be dofendsd by- men who work at night with their face covered?” Alien compared thè klan officiala to rulers of Soviet Russia, declaring that “I would as soon bo tried by a soviet decree of Lenin as I would by a decrea of thè Ku-Klux Klan handed down by Slmmons of Atlanta.” The saddest reflection on thè intelligence of thè Americana who join thè klan, Alien said, “ls thè ease with which they- have been exploited by- thè profiteers who are capltahzing their/ racial and religious prejudices for thè benefit of their Atlanta outflt.” Kansas Makes Fight Kansas is fighting in thè court* to oust thè klan as an organization, Alien said. “Not because thè organlzatlon flghts thè Catholic Church ot expresses antlpathy to thè Jew or tho negro, but because it does this under thè protection of a mask and through thè procoss of terrorism and violence.” “Instead of aid as it pretenda to do In purpose. to officers of thè law in their problema of enforcement. it adds to their problema,” Alien continued. “In Oklahoma a new masked order has grown up called thè True Blue. “The next organization niight be thè Fast Black. The Atlanta emperor has no right to presume that he has a monopoly upon those Individuai who will wish to organize a masked governrnent of their own.” THIEF GETS METER Earl \V. Showalter, 315 N. Pennsylvania St., told thè police a thief stole a motometer from his car. The automobile was parked on Capitol Ava. last night near Market St.
